It said it would restore access only when it was certain it could do so securely. <\/p>\n<p>Publicly available blockchain records show the apparent scammers received more than $100,000 worth of cryptocurrency. <\/p>\n<p>Chief Executive Jack Dorsey earlier said the company was diagnosing the problem and pledged to share \u201ceverything we can when we have a more complete understanding of exactly what happened.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTough day for us at Twitter.

Several accounts of cryptocurrency-focused organizations were also hijacked. <\/p>\n<p>Altogether, the affected accounts had tens of millions of users. <\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s campaign was \u201cin touch\u201d with Twitter, according to a person familiar with the matter. The person said the company had locked down the Democrat\u2019s account \u201cimmediately following the breach and removed the related tweet.\u201d Tesla and other affected companies were not immediately available for comment. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Slideshow_container Slideshow_small Slideshow_standard\">\n<div class=\"Slideshow_preview-container\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"LazyImage_container LazyImage_dark\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s1.reutersmedia.net\/resources\/r\/?m=02&amp;d=20200715&amp;t=2&amp;i=1525878682&amp;r=LYNXNPEG6E1UA\"><\/div>\n<\/figure><figcaption class=\"Slideshow_caption\">Slideshow<span class=\"Slideshow_count\"> (3 Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><span class=\"Slideshow_line\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Several experts said the incident raised questions about Twitter\u2019s cybersecurity. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear the company is not doing enough to protect itself,\u201d said Oren Falkowitz, former CEO of Area 1 Security. <\/p>\n<p>Alperovitch, who now chairs the Silverado Policy Accelerator, said that, in a way, the public had dodged a bullet so far. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are lucky that given the power of sending out tweets from the accounts of many famous people, the only thing that the hackers have done is scammed about $110,000 in bitcoins from about 300 people,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Attribution_container\" readability=\"8.5\">\n<div class=\"Attribution_attribution\" readability=\"12\">\n<p class=\"Attribution_content\">Reporting by Joseph Menn, Raphael Satter, and Katie Paul; Additional reporting by Elizabeth Culliford in San Francisco; Christopher Bing, David Shepardson and Chris Sanders in Washington; Trevor Hunnicutt in New York; and Fanny Potkin in Singapore.
